Cómo preparar Maple Date Bars
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup pure maple syrup.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the mixture resembles a thick jam. Stir in the zest of 1 orange (or lemon). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press 2 cups of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Spread the cooled date mixture evenly over the oat crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the date layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the bars are set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
